About this show
We have all dreamed about being famous as children. Gill dreamt about being switched at birth and one day her family, a royal family, would come get her... 50 years on, it still hasn't happened. Gill's life, like Mary Queen of Scots, has had some misadventures, terrible failed relationships and near-death experiences. But unlike Mary, Gill won't lose her head. She's ready to claim the throne and pronounce herself the Queen of Scottish Comedy. A fun show that looks at thwarted dreams and failed ambitions.
